Sunny Cloudy Sunrise

Sunny Cloudy Sunrise
Driving on a French road at sunrise in the Summer of 2011, got this strange feeling of being trapped between the sun and the grey clouds - a surreal experience!

Awakening - Read to Freedom

Today was marked by an awakening - a new beginning and a realisation that just as time doesn't stand still, man shouldn't stagnate.

While the news has been dominated by the Arab Revolution, I just want to focus on our evolution. Sticking to one single source of information, whether a channel, a textbook or a person just cannot suffice (= be enough). If each one of us took the responsibility of her own education, without relying solely on the input of our teachers and mentors, then we would become a better educated society, better equipped to face the abundance of misinformation we are targetted with daily.

Wake up and give your brain its right - Knowledge is freedom, and Reading, its path so read, read and read some more.


There's light at the end of the tunnel, and confidence in that, makes the journey a lot easier.

And the link of the day is a must on your favourite bar - National Geographic - a great site for general knowledge and beautiful pictures and videos of world wonders. Enjoy the journey around the world - click and add to your favourites http://www.nationalgeographic.com/

Have fun on your trip tomorrow xx

  1. We as student think it's the books' responsibility to teach us everything and prepare us for life, if it's not then it's the teachers' responsibility. Hope you can change this concept by giving all those lectures.But I think it's not always enough to have so much knowledge of everything, when wisdom is bleak. It mostly needs much self will and time.
